Serious Drouth in Wisconsin.

WHITEWATER, Wis May l6-The
drouth in this section is becoming a
matter of serious concern. Although
the weather is warm and pleasant
the grass and grain crops are making
but little growth In this respect the
season is much like that of 1886. The
effect of the severe winter on fall-sow-
ed grain proves to have been less in
furious than was feared.

a Terrible Scene.

rBy Anglo-Amcrican cable 10 the Dispatch.l
IoNDoy, April 14.-Further particu-
lars of the loss near Dieppe OF the New
Haven and Dieppe packet Victoria
show that the vessel struck the rocks
amidships The passengers immedi-
ately rushed to the stern, which,
through the downward list OF the bow,
VAS bouyed up by the deep water
on that side of the rocks. A terrible
scene ensued then, while endeavors
we're being made to float the llfe-boats,
which were seriously interfered with by
the heavy swell of the sea. At last,
when one boat was ready to be lowered,
and fifteen men and women had en-
barked in it, lady's shawl became en-
tangled in the pulleys of the stern dayit
and caused the boat to descend to the
sen bow foremost. Most of the occu-
PANTS were thrown out and drowned.
Two ladies jumped from the deck OF
the steamer into the boat after 1t
reached the water and overturned it.
Other boats were then safely launched
and succeeded in reaching the Fecamp,
rcscuing ON the way with boat-hooks
the two persons who had been swept
cut to sea. Mrs. Bran Stoker was
saved.
1he Paris Figaro says terrible re-
sponsibility rests upon the keepers OF
the Cape-Ailly lighthouse, who only
sounded the fog-horn after hearing the
crash made by the steamer as she struck
the rocks. The captain OF the Victoria
maiptained great GOODNESS, and guaran-
teed the safety Of all on board il they
would but obey his orders.

,s.,,yc on the four Gospels.

The first of the spring course OF lee
lures under the auspices OF the Mclill
Catholic Union was delivered 10y the
Rev. John X. Slattery, pastor q St:
Joseph's church, in Cathedral Han last
night before large and appreciative
audience. The subject of the lecture
was 1.-THE -Four Gospels" and the
reverend lecturer dwelt eloquently upon
their characteristics and the proofs OF
their authenticity, showing that OF all
The mass OF literature left MS by the
ancients only six books can he found
which treat OF sacred subjects, of which
the Old Testament is one. From this
he went on TO state that the writings OF
the Roman and Jewish historians Taci-
tus and Josephus prove that the
Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke,
and John were written during
the first century by the evangelists,
and that during the fourteenth century,
when the validity Of the Gospels was
questioned, over 800 translations and edi-
tions OF them were examined, letter by
letter. and compared with one another,
with the result Of finding but twelve Sc
rious differences. not one of which af-
fected a single question of faith or
morals.
Father Slattery paid high tribute to
Professor Kellogg and others for de-
tending the Christian religion against
the attacks of Matthew Arnold and Max
Muller. He closed by advising the
thorough study OF the Gospels by his
hearers, as by doing so they would gain
a greater insight into the sublmlty OF
the Christian religion.
The lectures will be continued at IN
tervals during the season, and oil their
snccess there can be no question.

MT. Bsaine's Condition.
fpx teiaCr,nh IN The Dispatch. I

CHICAGO, ILL, April IA special
from Fort Gibson, i. IT,, says: DR..
Byrne made all examination OF MIR.
Blaine's chest last evening and found
the Inflammation of the lung vislbly
diminished and the lung healing rapid
ly. There is no danger OF q relapse
unless it should be invited by some
reatimprudence, and that is not among
the probabilities. DIR. Byrne said yes
terday: This weather is most favorable
for Mr.. Blaine. 1t is even and balny
and his room is guarded against
draughts. The little moisture that Is
inthe cir is rather desirable than other
wise. He can take sufficient nourish-
ment, and he is not only retaining his
strength, but is adding to it. There Is
no occasion for alarm, and his improve
ment is so gradual and his condition
from hour to hour so even that there Is
no necessity for an hourly observation
of his case.
He has had an attack of broncho-
pneumonia, and has passed what may
be called the crisis of the disease. Since
Sunday morning Mr.. Blaine has been
improving. The extension or invasion
of the inflammation has ceased, aud
the sounding Of Mr., Blaine's chest
slows that It has not increased any
since Sunday. The disease is such a
subtle one, however, that some one
point of inflammation from fresh cold
or other cause may spread, and that is
what we must guard against. 1t is
under control, and rest svery essential.
Mr.. Blaine is not restless in the sense
usually applied to the word-that is,
he does not toss about-but he does not
sleep as much as | think is desirable.

the payment Of the retail-tax by the
defendant. Murphy refused to testify.
